I have used option menu in my fragment.The problem is that when i go first time to fragment ,the option menu click event is not called.But when i go to another fragment.and again revist that fragment then the option menu click event is called...
following is the code
//Creating the option menu
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater)
{
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.newcarmenu, menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item)
{
//super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
switch(item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menuNewCar:
_menuClickCallback.onMenuSelected();
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
please tell me why this happen?
Right now, you are returning super.onOptionsItemSelected(item) every time, so the selection is being passed on. You need to return true when your MenuItem has been selected. Try this instead:
switch(item.getItemId())
{
case R.id.menuNewCar:
_menuClickCallback.onMenuSelected();
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}

i have three menu items "enable, diable, exit". what i want to do is, when the R.id.menu_enable_bt is chosen, i want to disable it using
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_enable_bt).setVisible(false);
but i can not call
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_enable_bt).setVisible(false);
from inside the onOptionsItemSelected(..) method.
how can i change the visibility of a menu item inside onOptionsItemSelected(..)
CODE:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
Log.w(TAG, SubTag.msg("onCreateOptionsMenu"));
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.menu, menu);
if (this.mBTAdapter.isEnabled()) {
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_enable_bt).setVisible(false);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_disable_bt).setVisible(true);
} else {
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_enable_bt).setVisible(true);
menu.findItem(R.id.menu_disable_bt).setVisible(false);
}
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
Log.w(TAG, SubTag.msg("onOptionsItemSelected"));
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.menu_enable_bt:
Log.d(TAG, SubTag.bullet("onOptionsItemSelected", "menu_enable_bt"));
//menu.findItem(R.id.menu_enable_bt).setVisible(false); **how to do this**
this.mATEnableBT = new ATEnableBT();
this.mATEnableBT.execute();
break;
case R.id.menu_disable_bt:
Log.d(TAG, SubTag.bullet("onOptionsItemSelected", "menu_disable_bt"));
break;
case R.id.menu_exit:
Log.d(TAG,SubTag.bullet("onOptionsItemSelected", "menu_exit"));
finish();
break;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
you can use invalidateOptionsMenu() which will forse onCreateOptionsMenu to be called again.
From the documentation
Declare that the options menu has changed, so should be recreated. The
onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu) method will be called the next time it needs
to be displayed.
There you can check your conditions and undertake the needed actions
See the javadoc for onPrepareOptionsMenu. This is your opportunity to make changes to a menu just before it becomes visible to the user. So you should maintain some member variables describing what should be visible and use that to modify the menu items here.
I have a ListActivity (SherlockListActivity) and its content can be dynamically changed by the user. When the content changes, the options menu should be replaced.
As I learned, instead of onCreateOptionsMenu I should use onPrepareOptionsMenu that is (supposed to be) called every time the user selects the menu.
This is called right before the menu is shown, every time it is shown.
I have the following code:
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu)
{
menu.clear();
if (UserOption == UserOption1)
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_option1, menu);
else
getSupportMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_option2, menu);
return super.onPrepareOptionsMenu(menu);
}
It is called only once during debug, so I always have the same menu.
What should I set to make it work?
Create and prepare the options menu for changing and its item selection method
#Override
public boolean onPrepareOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.clear();
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
if(menuString=="red"){
inflater.inflate(R.menu.red_menu, menu);
}else if(menuString=="green"){
inflater.inflate(R.menu.green_menu, menu);
}
return true;
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// Handle item selection
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.new_game:
return true;
case R.id.help:
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
Like whenever you want to change menu call
String menuString="red or green";
invalidateOptionsMenu();
Like others told, if you want to have static menu use onCreateOptionsMenu, and if you want to change its visibility dynamically use onPrepareOptionsMenu along with onCreateOptionsMenu
in my app I have a refresh button. clicking on it it rotates (animation) while the fragment is updating. suppose I navigate from the given fragment to another and then back. Is there any possibility when I navigate back the refresh Menu Item being clicked automatically without pressing on it.
menu item onclick method
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.action_refresh:
item.setActionView(getAnimation());
getCurrency(code,item);
mViewpager.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Log.i("TAG", "refresh pressed =>");
return true;
}
// Handle your other action bar items...
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
I want this code to execute when navigating back without pressing the menu Item
Yes, you can execute all the actions your are doing when the optionMenu creation method starting from the animation and the real updating as following:
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu){
MenuInflater inflater = getMenuInflater();
inflater.inflate(R.menu.my_options_menu, menu);
//Perform the updating action
item.setActionView(getAnimation());
getCurrency(code,item);
mViewpager.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
Log.i("TAG", "refresh pressed =>");
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
return true;
}
I am developing an app using actionbar sherlock. The problem I have is that I have the menus setup and all my xml files are correct since I get no compiler and logcat error.
THe problem I am having is that when I load a fragment A with its own specific menu everything is good. But when I then move to another fragment B, fragment A menu appears on fragment B. Any ideas as to whats causing this.
#Override
public void onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu, MenuInflater inflater) {
menu.clear();
super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu, inflater);
inflater.inflate(R.menu.product_allergy, menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
switch(item.getItemId()){
case R.id.productClear:
addtoList();
break;
}
return true;
}
The menu is belonged to Activty rather than fragments. Fragment A and B are in same activity, so when A adds some items into activity's menu and then it is replaced by Fragment B, the activity does not change, i.e., the menu is still there.
If you want your Fragment B to have different menu items, override the onCreateOptionsMenu() method, remember to setHasOptionsMenu(true) in Fragment's onCreate() method.
FYI, if you simply want to clear prior fragment's menu item, call menu.clear() in onCreateOptionsMenu().
EDIT:
When you are trying to handle the action bar callback in fragments, you should do something like below:
#override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.fragmentActionBarButton:
//your code
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
I have the following in my activity (sorry new to Java/Android):
#Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.options, menu);
return super.onCreateOptionsMenu(menu);
}
#Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
switch(item.getItemId()) {
case R.id.selectItem:
// menu.add(...) --> how to get the menu instance?
return true;
default:
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
}
I am wondering, how can I access a menu object in onOptionsItemSelected? For example, how would I go about adding a new view to the options menu based on the selection of an existing menu item? Is the answer related to "onPrepareOptionsMenu"?
you should use SubMenu for such things ... remeber that you cant add submenu to another submenu ... so only Menu->Submenu is possible you can't do stuff like this Menu->Submenu->Submenu (while Submenu is Dialog with choices)
